Being famous has its ups and downs, but she never imagined it would be a matter of life and death.

For as long as she can remember, Ember Maxwell’s life hasn’t been her own. A world-renowned influencer, she’s a brand unto herself, created by her parents—who also want Olympic glory for their only daughter. Years of grueling training have led to Seoul, Korea, and a spot on the modern pentathlon team. It’s a turning point for Ember in more ways than one. Chafing against her parents’ tight reins, she opts to stay in the Olympic Village, a decision that leads to a gravely harrowing event…and a man unlike any she’s ever met.

Craig “Doc” Wagner has actively avoided the spotlight since childhood, a trend that’s continued with his career as a Delta Force soldier. Falling for someone whose entire life is splashed on social media is possibly the worst idea ever, though his attraction to Ember won’t be denied. It’s not long before he discovers they have plenty in common where it really matters…but he lives in Texas, and her life is in California. So Doc will take every stolen moment they can get.

When Ember makes a few life-changing decisions, Doc is thrilled. The same can’t be said for some of her biggest fans, including one who sees Ember’s new direction as the ultimate betrayal…that should cost her the ultimate price.

** Shielding Ember is the 7th book in the Delta Team Two Series. Each book is a stand-alone, with no cliffhanger endings.

Read in June 2023
I found one scene particularly powerful, I got the strong senses of anger, fear the frenzy both at the highest points and as events unfolded. It was clear and easy to picture in my mind. I felt for Ember in this story her whole life was run by others without any say from her, the pressure was constant and honestly if that's ultimate goal is really wanted by the person then fine, but I got the impression that she was ready for a change and just hadn't been able to think about options. Meeting Doc, the risks and threats gave her that. I think if fans can't see the person and life restrictions behind the fame and social media it's sad, everyone deserves change and competing at these levels is not sustainable for too long realistically, injuries become more frequent and harder to recover from. This was intense in places, fun in others, I loved the banter and lightness between the characters even while they were hot and steamy. It gave a break to the threats and the worry of a missing Sierra. Doc was protective and alpha but also understanding and supportive, trying to make sure she was safe but also giving her choices and time. I must admit to only figuring out who the villain was shortly before it became clear, the actual climax was short and not as intense as the earlier event, not drawn out or overworked, I sort of expected it to be a bit more somehow but wasn't disappointed. The ending gives the lead into the next book and I can't wait. Well written, steady pace and characters have depth. Subject matter is interesting including the sport itself which I knew very little about as a whole. Very enjoyable read.

Enjoyed this story. Had Delta Team at the Olympics in South Korea where the guys are to provide safety to the athletes and keep eye for any possible attack. That is where Doc meets Ember. Book has action and a love story . There is a crazy fan that becomes threatening to Ember because she didn’t place high enough and Delta Force looks into who it is. Read to see who wants Amber dead. How can Doc protect her?

Second time reading this book as I read through all of SS's work.

I love Ember and I love Doc. But, and don't get me wrong I absolutely loved this book, but it was kind of slow compared to any of the other SS books in this series.

Ember is super strong and amazing. She and Doc are perfect together in so many ways. But there's someone who has it out for Ember. Someone is upset at how things ended up for her at the Olympics and wants to see her pay for it. But it takes to the very end of the book to figure out who it is.

Why does that drive me crazy? Because Doc wanted a background check done on several people. So why is it that the background checks are saved to absolute last?

Ugh.... it drove me crazy compared to every other SS book I've read. But I still loved it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Danger at the Olympics and then at home
Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2021

Ms. Stoker brings together two characters together that are complete opposites. Not in personality but in occupations. Ember Maxwell is headed to the Olympics and is a social media darling. She has been groomed all her life by her parents. It was their dream that she goes to the Olympics and not hers. She is in the spotlight an awful lot and is an influencer in the world of social media. But social media only allows her to be seen the way her parents and others have dictated.

Craig "Doc" Wagner is a Delta Force soldier and he can't be in the spotlight. He has to remain anonymous and off social media to protect himself and his team. Their work is confidential and important. He first meets Ember when he comes to her defense and asks her to sit at his table with his team. He then abruptly leaves her at the table with his team. Not a good start but all is explained by his teammates and Ember learns that they have things in common.

Things get intense at the Olympics and Doc is quite impressed by how Ember handles things. He also encourages her to give life to her dreams. She is well on her way but someone wants to cancel those dreams and end her life.

This was a great story and dealt with social issues that are relevant today. Ms. Stoker does a good job with the material and as always spins a wonderful love story filled with excitement and characters that have great chemistry. Ember is a strong woman who can outshoot most of Doc's team but she is sweet and generous and amazing under pressure. Doc is a total Alpha male but he supports her 110% and that's what I love about the characters. Her heroines are always strong and not whiney. Her heroes are alpha males but they aren't over the top.

Shielding Ember: Delta Team Two Book 7 is written by Susan Stoker. This is one of her best books. The excitement is always there.
Craig “Doc” Wagner and his team have the privilege of providing security for the athletes in the Seoul, South Korea. They are in the dorm where the pentathalon and the water polo teams are housed. After walking around and seeing security, they are not happy as they should be. It isn’t as tight as they feel it should be; but they will do their best. They have to remember to try to get to the men’s basketball game and get an autograph for their team member’s young step-son as the team member is at home awaiting the birth of his first child.
Ember Maxwell has made it to the team. She has worked for years for this chance or her parents have. Ember didn’t really want to do this; but it pleased her parents so she went along with it. Luckily, she did want to win and was fairly talented. She managed to stand her ground and is staying in the Olympic Village instead of a hotel with her parents and entourage. Ember is very popular and well known; but it is a disadvantage here. All anyone wants to do is take a picture with her. That is everyone but her teammates and the security team.
Doc sees a shy young girl and takes her under his wing and that of his team to keep her safe and keep her from cracking in the tournament. The security team is thrilled because Doc never interacts with clients.

I can never just read one Susan Stoker book, because I no sooner read it then I must have the next one. Hence the hoarding of her books. I love love love sexy Doc, and can’t think of anyone more perfect for him than Ember. I’m glad things are moving forward on Sierra too she’s been on my mind since the beginning. I’m jumping straight into her book.

Shielding Ember est un très beau livre qui raconte la réalité de notre monde multiculturel. Ce livre me touche beaucoup car ma fille est née d'une mère blanche et d'un père noir et ce qui est raconté ou vécu dans ce livre lui ressemble un peu. Susan Stoker ne porte aucun jugement ni préjugé dans ce livre, elle raconte tout simplement et attire l'attention sur les difficultés de notre monde.

This book… this story was awesome, as always. When I read Olympics I was a little worried it might not be that exciting as the other books… but I shouldn’t have worried. Action, love, strong heroine and the beloved Delta’s. Loved it…
